Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (2-BHPAA) is a phenolic hydroxyl compound that is synthesized from acrylic acid. It has been used in the synthesis of other compounds, such as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenoxy)ethoxy]phenol, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. 2-BHPAA can be synthesized by dehydrogenative bromination of phenol with bromine and acetic acid in an organic solvent. The yield of this reaction is typically high because the product does not contain any functional groups that can act as a catalyst for competing reactions.
